Chapter 120 Reunion

After welcoming a large wave of tourists last week, Yunmiao Village has started to gain popularity this week.

Although the passenger flow is slowly declining, it is still better than before overall. After all, it has gained some popularity.

Just when everything seemed to be returning to calm, another storm was quietly brewing on the Internet.

There is a windy restaurant.

"Bell~~"

"Hello, this is Youfeng Restaurant." Xie Xiaochun answered the phone.

"Excuse me, is Nana-chan in your restaurant?"

"Nana?" Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaochun turned around and looked at Nana who was making coffee at the bar.

When Nana heard that someone was looking for her, she was also stunned.

"Who are you?" Xie Xiaochun asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I want to tell you that your store shouldn't hire people with questionable character."

"Are you sick? It's inexplicable." Xie Xiaochun frowned.

"I am kindly reminding you that you can only judge a person by his appearance and not by his heart. Don't be fooled."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded solemn.

"Tell me who you are first, don't be so secretive." After hearing this, Xie Xiaochun's tone became less polite.

"Beep-beep-" the phone was hung up.

"What...what happened?" Nana asked worriedly.

"Nothing. There was a psychopath who started looking for Nana-chan and cursed at me, but I yelled back at him."

Xie Xiaochun put down the landline phone and said casually that he just thought it was a harassing call and didn't take it seriously.

Nana's body stiffened when she heard that, and her eyes unconsciously revealed panic.

"Well, Xiaochun, I want to take a few days off and go back to Shanghai to visit my parents."

Nana tried hard to calm herself down and not show any sign of abnormality.

"When?"

"I'll go back and pack my things and leave tomorrow."

"Now? Why so sudden?" Xie Xiaochun asked curiously.

"It's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and I miss home a little." Nana's tone was a little unnatural.

"Nana, can you come a few days later? There are a lot of customers in the restaurant these two days, and the new girl is not very experienced in the job. She is clumsy and can't handle it at all."

"I"

Just when Nana was about to say something, the landline phone rang again.

"Bell~~"

"Hello, this is Youfeng Restaurant." Xie Xiaochun picked up the phone casually.

Hearing similar words on the phone, Xie Xiaochun became angry, "Hey, hey, hey, please be more polite."

"Who are you? What do you want? Speak clearly."

"Beep-beep-"

"Don't hang up if you can." Xie Xiaochun put down the phone, cursing, "Why are there so many psychopaths today?"

Seeing the once familiar scene coming to her mind, Nana could no longer suppress her inner panic.

"Nana, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?" Xie Xiaochun found something wrong.

"I'm not feeling well and want to go back today." Nana looked a little panicked.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Xie Xiaochun asked with concern.

"No, I'll just go back and take some medicine." Nana forced a smile.

"Okay, then you should go back and rest. I'll take care of it today. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good"

On the Internet, a post named "内鱼吃瓜群" attracted a lot of attention:
I don’t know if you still remember the internet celebrity Nana, who loved singing. She was scolded by netizens for fraudulent donations and had to quit the Internet.

Recently, I found her in the latest sharing of travel blogger Baozou Luoli. She has actually ended up working in a small town coffee shop to earn a living. It's so miserable. She deserves it [covering her mouth and laughing].

Damai, who is active on the Internet, noticed the post at the first time, then created a group and informed Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou.

Chen Nanxing also told the two of them what he had learned from Jiang Congwen.

Xu Hongdou: How is Nana now?
Chen Nanxing: She just ran back in a panic and now seems to be packing her luggage in the room.

Xu Hongdou: You calm Nana down first, Chen Mo and I will be there tomorrow.

Da Mai: Me too, I’m booking the tickets now.

Chen Nanxing: Okay.

Zibo.

Xu Hongdou, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up and kicked Chen Mo, who was sitting at the other end of the sofa watching TV, with her white and tender feet.

Chen Mo grabbed it casually, rubbed it subconsciously, and scratched it gently.

It is said that the TV will be especially good when you visit your father-in-law’s house for the first time.

No matter what the content is, whether he has seen it or not, the son-in-law can watch it attentively and even enjoys watching the commercials.

Chen Mo has been here for so long that he doesn't need to watch TV to relieve the embarrassment, but he can't help getting bored sometimes.

Xu Hongdou's home is in a residential area. If it were in the village, Chen Mo could go outside and kick the wall when he was bored.

"Stop it, it's itchy~~" Xu Hongdou struggled to free her legs.

"Didn't you reach it out yourself?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"Ahem~~" Xu Hongmi next to her coughed lightly, indicating that she was still there.

These days at Xu Hongdou's house, Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou naturally had less intimate interactions than before outside.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Chen Mo. She just wanted to call Chen Mo, but who knew that Chen Mo had become accustomed to some of his actions.

"Pack your things, we'll go back to Yunmiao tomorrow."

"Aren't our tickets for the day after tomorrow?" Chen Mo asked.

"Let's change the ticket. We'll leave a day earlier. Something happened with Nana." Xu Hongdou explained briefly.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Okay, then you talk to your uncle and aunt first."

Whether they left a day earlier or a day later, they didn't go anywhere, but they must have informed their elders in advance.

If you can go home secretly, that's a surprise; but if you can't leave home without saying a word and just leave, that's a shock.

"Okay, I'll tell my mother now that she doesn't need to buy so many vegetables tomorrow morning." Xu Hongdou also knew this.

Parents buy groceries differently depending on whether their children are at home or not.

Sometimes not only the children are working outside, but they have to make do with the meals; sometimes the elderly couple are alone at home, so they can also make do with the cooking.

"Chen Mo, welcome back next time." Xu Hongmi said with a smile.

"I will come here often in the future. I hope I can come here with a different identity next time." Chen Mo smiled and nodded in agreement.

"For example?" Xu Hongmi asked with interest.

Chen Mo smiled and said without disguising, "For example, the son-in-law comes to visit and takes his wife back to her parents' home."

Xu Hongdou, who was on the phone, rolled her eyes at Chen Mo when she heard this, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Xu Hongmi raised her eyebrows and nodded, "You have ambition. I am optimistic about you."

The fact that Chen Mo dares to speak his mind is more to Xu Hongmi's liking.

Marrying a wife means having “obvious and wolfish ambitions.”

Otherwise, if she is timid and doesn't dare to speak, how can she guarantee happiness for her sister?

Chen Mo grinned, "I won't let Sister Hongmi down."

While talking on the phone and listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and muttered to herself: Humph, I haven't agreed yet.

The next day, Dali, Yunmiao Village.

"Hey, slow down."

Da Mai was pulling a suitcase with one hand and holding a Samoyed with the other, and he was jogging along the way.

When they arrived at the windy courtyard, Da Mai let go of the dog leash, ignored the dog, and ran straight to Nana's room.

A few hours later, Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou also arrived.

As soon as Xu Hongdou arrived at the courtyard, she went straight to Nana's room and threw her luggage directly to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't join in the fun. He had already learned what had happened from Xu Hongdou last night.

When Nana was a host, she learned that one of her fans was sick and had financial difficulties at home.

So Nana took the initiative to donate all the proceeds from her live broadcast on her birthday to this fan, hoping to show her appreciation and help the person through the difficult times.

The revenue from the live broadcast that day, excluding the platform's share, was more than 30,000 yuan. Nana made up 50,000 yuan from her own pocket and donated it to this fan.

At that time, some people led the trend, saying that the revenue for that day was more than that, and accused Nana of taking advantage of the sympathy of fans to get gifts.

Nana had no choice but to ask the platform to produce a certificate of income for that day, thinking that if she made it clear, the matter would be settled.

Unexpectedly, another voice emerged, saying that in Nana's previous videos, she was wearing famous brands, and the money she donated was just the money for a set of clothes, and she just wanted to use this to establish her image.

Soon after, other dirty waters came pouring in.

There was an internet user who claimed to know Nana and was her high school classmate who revealed the information. Nana used to like showing off her wealth in school and had had many boyfriends, etc.

Then came a series of harassment bombardments, with personal information, home address, etc. being exposed.

It takes only a mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. Spreading a rumor does not require evidence or cost, all you need is a keyboard; refutation of a rumor requires time and energy to find evidence and prove one’s innocence.

Nana couldn't explain herself clearly, and finally chose to quit the Internet to escape.

In Chen Mo's opinion, there was obviously a mastermind behind this incident.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for these water armies and public opinion to come one after another, and to specifically incite and exploit the public's "hatred of the rich" to trigger cyber violence.

The reason is nothing more than that it hinders the interests of others and becomes an "eyesore"; or it is because it is ahead of others and gets more, making others jealous.

Chen Mo can help with these online public opinion matters.

But the "trauma" left in Nana's heart still depends on Nana herself. It depends on whether Xu Hongdou and the others can give Nana the courage to face it again.

In the Windy Courtyard, Room No. 1, the four golden flowers gathered again.

"I crossed mountains and seas to get here. I finally found a place where no one knows me, but in the end, it seems to be the same."

Nana hugged her legs, her eyes red, and said self-deprecatingly in a tired voice.

After the incident happened, Nana came out of her house and drove along the road in confusion, wanting to see where the road ended.

As a result, due to an accidental flat tire, she met Xie Xiaoxia and Xie Xiaochun. Later, after seeing the simplicity and tranquility of Yunmiao Village, Nana decided to stay.

"The world is a circle. Where can you go if you keep going around in circles?" Xu Hongdou said softly.

Chen Nanxing looked at Nana's packed luggage and asked, "Do you want to escape now and find a place to hide later?"

Da Mai hugged Nana and consoled her: "We are always trapped in all kinds of comments from others, just like when I wrote a book, there were always bad reviews."

"But then I realized that when the flood came towards us and we were drowned, it wasn't our fault."

"Nana, it's not your fault."

Xu Hongdou nodded. "The people who wronged you know best how innocent you are. Don't let them get what they want."

Da Mai continued, "Many people on the Internet don't care about right and wrong. Sometimes they just want to vent their emotions and get the pleasure of 'condemning others' from a superior position."

"When they pick up the keyboard, they think they are the supreme God; when they open their mouths, they think they are at the top of the moral ladder."

Chen Nanxing agreed: "That's right, these people are standing on the moral prostate, urinating and defecating everywhere without any quality."

"You can't be splashed with shit and urine and think that it's you who stink."

The three of them took turns to comfort each other, each speaking a different sentence.

Especially Chen Nanxing's last sentence, which mentioned both shit and urine, made Nana couldn't help but smell herself.

Nana was obviously very sad, but she wanted to laugh for some reason, "I didn't say I smell bad, did I?"

Da Mai leaned in and sniffed, "I can't really smell it. I'll ask Zhu Ba Zi to come and smell it."

Chen Nanxing nodded, "Dogs are most sensitive to shit."

Xu Hongdou tilted her head. "Because a dog will always eat shit?"

"Hey, that's enough." Nana burst into laughter.

"I'm not shouting hello, I'm shouting," Da Mai replied casually.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the same old jokes. They're too cold." Nana complained.

"Okay, respect the blocked artists." Da Mai shrugged.

"Nana, you are not alone this time. We are here for you." Xu Hongdou said seriously.

"That's right, don't be afraid, we are with you." Chen Nanxing nodded.

"If you can't hold on, I will hold you back, just like you helped me back then." Da Mai encouraged him with his clenched fist.

Nana smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes."

A true friend will come to your side, give you a hand and support you when you are in trouble.

"Are you hungry? Let's go out and eat something." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"it is good."

As soon as they walked out of the room and into the yard, they saw Ma Ye coming in with a suitcase.

"Master Ma, why are you back?" Several people were a little surprised.

"Long time no see, everyone." Master Ma said cheerfully.

"I came to inspect the Ink Red Rose Farm here, and came back to see you guys."

"Da Mai, you're back too. Have you lost weight?"

Ma Ye was also a little surprised to see Damai, as Damai was the first to leave.

"Really? But I weighed myself and found that I gained 5 kilograms." Damai was happy to hear that.

"You look thinner." Ma Ye nodded affirmatively, "We haven't seen each other for so long, the first impression can't be wrong."

Da Mai thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Master Ma, we haven't seen each other for just over a month. It hasn't been that long, has it?"

"Ah, a day without seeing a friend is like a long time. Just think how many years it has been since we last met."

Barley thought for a moment and said, "That would take more than a hundred years."

"Can we live that long?" Xu Hongdou asked happily.

Ma Ye smiled and said, "This is a subjective concept. Missing someone can transcend time."

"Mr. Ma's last sentence sounds a bit like Mr. Hu's tone." Chen Nanxing touched his chin.

"Who is thinking about me?" Hu Youyu walked in with a guitar on his back.

Master Ma turned around and said, "You are really a fool, Old Hu."

"Master Ma?!" Hu Youyu happily went forward and hugged him, "Have you become rich now? Can you come back and treat us all to a meal?"

"It's just a dinner, no problem." Ma Ye waved his hand, "Boss Chen is back too, wait for Boss Chen to treat us."

"Tsk~ You're panting so hard, I thought you were the one treating me." Hu Youyu sneered.

"Sister Damai, you're back too?" Hu Youyu's eyes lit up when he saw Damai, and he immediately pushed Ma Ye away.

"Teacher Hu, you are still as charming and elegant as ever." Da Mai nodded with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad." Hu Youyu smiled and walked closer, took a look, "Have you gained weight?"

Barley's smile disappeared instantly.

"It's okay, I don't dislike you. Let's have a hug after a long separation." Hu Youyu opened his arms.

Barley puffed his cheeks and turned away, ignoring him.

"Go away, don't try to take advantage of my barley." Nana waved her hand to drive him away.

"Nana, what do you mean by taking advantage? My warm embrace is not something that anyone can have," Hu Youyu said righteously.

"Eh~~" Da Mai said with disgust.

"Oh, everyone is here, so we have to have a party tonight."

Chen Mo simply packed his luggage in the room and came down from the second floor.

"Let's get ready, let's get drunk tonight." Hu Youyu cheered with his hands raised high.

"I won't go home until I'm drunk." Chen Nanxing also said generously.

"Just don't sleep in the yard again." Xu Hongdou reminded with a smile.

"I will continue to take pictures for you, Teacher Hu." Damai also spoke up.

"The past is like smoke, gone with the wind. Don't mention it again." Hu Youyu covered his face.

"It's in the memory card and can't be blown away by the wind." Barley said seriously.

"Da Mai, you're not cute at all." Hu Youyu looked resentful.

"I know, someone just said that I've gained weight." Barley nodded.

"Actually, my eyes are a little astigmatism, and I saw double just now. Now that I've walked closer and taken a closer look, you have indeed lost weight." Hu Youyu said seriously.

"Really?" Da Mai looked amused.

"Of course." Hu Youyu nodded seriously at first, then changed his tone and put on a smile, "Damai, who is kind-hearted and beautiful, can we discuss deleting a certain part of the past that I cannot bear to look back on?"

"The past is worth remembering, Teacher Hu." Damai said with a smile.

"Every time you feel high and proud in the future, you will be moved to tears when you think of this 'glorious' past."

When Hu Youyu heard this, his face suddenly looked uglier than crying.

Ma Ye walked over to Nana and asked with concern, "Nana, are you okay?"

"It's OK, Master Ma." Nana nodded with a smile, "I can eat."

Hearing that Nana could still joke, Ma Ye was relieved, "As long as people can eat enough, there is nothing that cannot be overcome."

"Ah."

Seeing her friends having fun in the yard, Nana finally smiled knowingly.

With such a group of friends who trust her, she is no longer alone, and the darkness around her is no longer shrouded in darkness. At this moment, there are balls of fire around her, illuminating her.

"Then let's take action and have a reunion party with old friends tonight."

“Let’s prepare the ingredients.”

"I'm going to buy a drink."

"I'll make the fire."

"Nana, hurry up."

"coming."

The flowers are in full bloom, the moon is full, old friends meet again, it is a beautiful thing in the world.
